Search resumes for missing teen last seen at country music festival in Tyrone

Volunteers are helping authorities search for a teenager who went missing after a country music festival in Tyrone.

Police issued a photo to help in the search of the missing teen.

Search efforts resumed this morning with Fintona Pearses GAA club asking volunteers for help.

A spokesperson posted on social media: “If possible can any volunteers please meet at 9am at The Church of Ireland Hall on Ecclesville Road. We are hoping that the search effort can be coordinated from there insofar as we can. We want to make sure we keep a good record of where has been searched and where hasn't so that we make sure all areas are covered. Obviously anything we do is in support of the statutory agencies and we need to be careful not to cut across their work. They are clearly in the lead and this is a voluntary community effort. In the instance you are searching an area and you come across PSNI or search and rescue we would ask that you leave them to it and search another area. Sunflower playgroup is located where the volunteer search is to be coordinated so if you don't know the area look out for the sign.”
